[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is going on at W&L? Even with the change in ranking formula, why are they outside the T20? This seems odd given the Johnson scholarship should help with the social mobility score. What gives?[/quote]

Remove the service academies ( too niche for the average SLAC applicant) and W&L is right there. It has been a perennial T15 before the USNWR methodology change.

Great school!

Are you interested in W&L? Reason for your question? Or are you just a concern troll?[/quote]

My question is why isn’t W&L doing better WITH the methodology change? It seems like they should have the resources to keep up with the push for increased social mobility. Can they not increase the Johnson program and crack the top 10, or are they simply failing to attract URM and Pell kids?[/quote]

The reality is that there really aren't a lot of superstar black and hispanic students out there. And those that are out there will certainly choose Harvard or MIT or Duke over Washington and Lee. It's slim pickings, and Washington and Lee isn't competing for the best black students. They go elsewhere. [/quote]

How about poor or middle class white kids? One would think the local kids within a 1-2 hour radius would do anything to try to get a Johnson. [/quote]
